Hey Indian,

I happen to find "Fighting Aircraft Of World War II" in the library several years ago.  Checked it out, renewed it several times.  

This book covers US, British, Germany, Japanese, French, Italian, and ... have I forgoten a country.

Anyway when I first came across the Macci C.205, I thought "Wow, what nice lines".

And performance to match.

You ought to try and get a copy.  I finally found and got a softback at Borders a few months ago.

For me there are two types of sources:

One (like the book you mentioned) that will introduce you to types of aircraft you've never before seen

and

One that will give you definitive info on every last minutae of data collected on a type.

Both are useful in their own way, but we all need to be careful of quoting performances figures from the former type; they tend to take a "shotgun" approach to data.

Have you guys seen the Special Edition of Flight Journal WWII Fifgters. It just hit the shelves of Barnes and Nobles. 2 articles I especially was interested in. One showed cockpit pohtos side by side of about 20 different fighters. The other was by a pilot (Brown I think) who evidently had the chance to fly some German planes at the time of WWII. Anyway, I just picked it up and haven't read it yet but would be interested in a critique by some of you experts

C205 didnt see all that much action in WWII.
We know why.. they couldnt make up there minds who to fight with.. Allies, Axis ,Allies. The 200 was so slow i dont think it see any action,mostly it was a target,for both sides of the war
